​Biblearc is a website that aims to "equip the church to follow Jesus through the faithful and accurate study of his Word." Their online tools provide "visual meditations" on scripture, and their courses teach techniques and strategies to better understand and notice the text. Biblearc was formative in Luke's journey to enjoying the Bible, and we hope that you will find it helpful, too!

"Watch and learn." Normally given to intimidate an opponent, we are going to take this advice to heart when looking at how to do a word study. Professional scholars have dedicated monstrous amounts of time and effort into creating resources that showcase the meaning, context, and nuances of words. Let's listen to them! This episode provides a one-stop shop for where to find the professionals' works. Use these resources in your next word study! 

This week, we speak with James Cuénod, a PhD student at Wheaton College. He made ParaBible to help him search for specific word combinations in the original languages. And while many of us don't know Hebrew or Greek, we can admire his brilliance and appreciate the work he is doing for biblical scholarship. Plus, who knows, maybe ParaBible will come in handy for you! 

STEP Bible is another awesome tool to add to your Bible study toolbox. It gives a platform to compare translations, track words across verses, search words and synonyms with the click of a button, and much more. We have found the best way to get to know this tool is to play around with it, but here is a quick scope of the website to get you started! We recommend watching this episode rather than listening to it.

We have referenced this powerhouse website in previous episodes, but we wanted to take some time and give a tour of BlueLetterBible.org, to lay out all of its key features. We hope you will discover the depths of this website and just how helpful it can be in studying the Bible. Stay tuned for an episode on how to do a word study and other frequently asked questions, but until then, play around with this awesome tool!
